Fully enclosed noseband to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
Ergonomic design for added comfort by keeping mask away from mouth and to reduce liquid contamination from saliva contact.
All Universal masks and respirators are ultrasonically bonded for added strength and to minimise any discomfort for the wearer.
All masks are Latex, Cadmium and Nickel free.
Long length ties or handy earloops provide a secure fit.
Since its launch in 1978, the Universal range has grown to include high quality headwear and facial protection, tubing and surgical suction products for use in operating theatre environments.
Face masks are regulated under the Medical Devices Directives 93/42 EEC and are recognised as being dual purpose: protecting both the healthcare provider and the patient. All face masks are CE marked as medical devices in accordance with the Medical Devices Directive 93/42 EEC.
Face masks are not designed to provide respiratory protection. Please see UniProtect respirators.

BactERialFiltRationEFFiciEncy(BFE)BFE tests determine how much infective agent is retained by the face mask. This value is directly related to the amount of bacteria released into the air and retained in the mask filter layer. A higher BFE percentage indicates better protection levels from inffective agents.
PaRticlEFiltRationEFFiciEncy(PFE)Measures the filtration efficiency of a mask against small particles, usually 0.1 μ (micron).

EyeProtect Glasses are comfortable and lightweight, with excellent optically correct lenses. They can be worn over most prescription glasses. To minimise costs and reduce waste, the frames can be disinfected using a hard surface disinfectant wipe, and replacement lenses easily fitted.

Full face visors provide high level protection from body fluid or blood splashes or spray. A wide thick foam band across the forehead, and a wide latex free head band, ensures a comfortable and secure front seal for wearers. The optically correct anti-fog visor, gives wearers maximum and accurate visibility. In addition, prescription or protective eye wear can be worn underneath the visor.

FittEStinGSERVicE
Fit is very important. Respirators must seal tightly to the face or air will enter from the sides.
The ACoPS (Approved Code of Practice) supporting the COSHH, CLAW and CAR recommend that tight fitting respiratory protective equipment (RPE) must be fit tested as part of the selection process. This is to ensure the selected RPE has the potential to provide adequate protection for the wearer (L5 paragraph 150, L143 paragraph 196 and L132 paragraph 133).
The ACoPS has legal meaning: if you follow the advice, you will be doing enough to comply with the law.
Shermond can provide a fit testing service and/or training. Please also see the RPE user guide at the back.

Respirators are intended to help reduce the wearer’s exposure to potentially infectious airborne pathogens.
UniProtectrespiratorsfeature;• A large breathing chamber to create a
cooler air exchange and help hold the mask away from the face for wearer comfort and ease of speech.
• A natural anti-fog seal and the soft inner facing layer that minimises discomfort.
• All respirators are individually CE marked and BS EN 149:2001 compliant.
theP2respirators;• Are recommended by the WHO
for SARS and Avian Flu related outbreaks.
theP3respirators;• Meet the requirements specified in
the NICE guidance for protection against tuberculosis.
• Comply with HPA guidance on Avian Flu and HSE
recommendations for biological agents in healthcare laboratories.
• Are suitable for use to filter out particulates found in surgical smoke or laser plume.
In addition, P3 valved respirators help to reduce the build up of heat which makes breathing easier. This is useful when worn for longer periods of ti me or when used in warm environments or those with elevated humidity.
The EN149: 2001 testing regime for respirators involves challenging the respirators with 0.6 micron particles of sodium chloride to determine their classification (FFP1, P2 or P3). Respirators with PFEs exceeding 98% are FFP3. The testing measures the % of sodium chloride particulates filtered by the respirator and uses significantly higher volumes of air compared to that used for face mask testing.

directionsfordonningProperly donning your respirator may feel a little awkward at first, but it will become easier with repeated applications. Please use the instructions below when applying this respirator. When using a respirator, the blue band side MUST be worn facing outward and upward in order to provide the best possible fit.
Fitcheckyourrespiratoreverytime youwearit.Forcefully inhale and exhale several times. The respirator should collapse slightly when you inhale and expand when you exhale. You should not feel any air leaking between your face and the respirator. If the respirator does not collapse and expand OR if air is leaking out between your face and the respirator, then you have NOT achieved a good facial fit. Adjust your respirator until the leakage is corrected and you are able to successfully fit your respirator.
important: If after trying these tips you are still unable to successfully fit check your respirator, please contact us.
achievingaGoodFitIf you have a problem successfully fitting your respirator, try the following:
1. Use a mirror while adjusting the respirator.2. Ask someone to look for hair or earrings that might be
caught in the seal.3. Make sure the headbands are positioned properly. It is
especially important that the top headband is on the crown of your head, as it is designed to hold the bottom of the respirator snug against your chin.
donotproceedwithyouractivitiesuntilyouhavecheckedyourrespiratorsuccessfully.
Separate the mask to open fully.
Gently pre-bend the nosepiece to conform the mask to your face.
Hold the mask upside down to expose the two headbands.
Separate the headbands using your index and middle fingers.
01 02 03 04
Tip your head slightly forward and place the base of the mask firmly under your chin.
Position the mask on your face and bring the headbands over your head.
Place the first headband at the nape of your neck and the remaining headband at the crown of your head.
Form the nose piece tightly across the bridge of your nose and face. Adjust the mask to achieve a good facial seal.
